Fear makes us do things that go against our values. <br /><br />I'd add that we can involve our kids in talking about refugees. I chat with my daughters in very simple terms - e.g. "Some people have to leave their homes because it's not safe. It's important that we welcome them in our town" or whatever. Kids who don't grow up thinking of refugees as "other" are more likely to treat people in need with kindness and compassion.Catherine @ Ten Thousand Hour Mamahttp://tenthousandhourmama.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-57525128308643151882017-02-02T09:02:10.927-08:002017-02-02T09:02:10.927-08:00Dr, David Jeremiah in his book, Is This The End, ...Dr, David Jeremiah in his book, Is This The End, has the best scripture dealing with this topic; as well as what their church has done to reach out to "sojourners"/ refugees.
